thats an extremely dense take dude

2019-08-20 01:11:18 UTC  

im a bit disappointed in you lmao

2019-08-20 01:11:21 UTC  

Why is nuclear disincentivized?

2019-08-20 01:11:42 UTC  

the solution to government fucking with the market is to take out the government's *ridiculous* incentive structure

2019-08-20 01:11:58 UTC  

abolish citizens united

2019-08-20 01:12:05 UTC  

get money the fuck out of politics

2019-08-20 01:12:13 UTC  

and make politicians accountable to *the people* again

2019-08-20 01:12:14 UTC  

Okay, so you take out the incentive structure of nuclear being fucked because the public is afraid of Chernobyl and Fukushima too, no?

2019-08-20 01:12:36 UTC  

>get money out of politics

2019-08-20 01:12:51 UTC  

So we abolish government salaries and pensions too yeah?

2019-08-20 01:12:59 UTC  

another extremely dense take

2019-08-20 01:13:03 UTC  

no u

2019-08-20 01:13:10 UTC  

how can you say these things without giggling to yourself

2019-08-20 01:13:34 UTC  

"If I say ur dum that makes me right"
Why is nuclear disincentivized and how do we remove that incentive structure

2019-08-20 01:13:36 UTC  

but no, the government can do things that the people dont want them to do and this happens ALL THE TIME

2019-08-20 01:13:39 UTC  

How can you say 'take money out of politics' without realizing all dimensions of so-called money in politics

2019-08-20 01:13:49 UTC  

It happens when they can get away with it

2019-08-20 01:13:49 UTC  

I really don't know

2019-08-20 01:13:55 UTC  

the difference is what types of things the government does against the people's wishes

2019-08-20 01:14:02 UTC  

If they don't cowtow on certain issues, people will vote in someone else

2019-08-20 01:14:04 UTC  

Right

2019-08-20 01:14:07 UTC  

And it only matters when you don't like it

2019-08-20 01:14:10 UTC  

Yes?

2019-08-20 01:14:11 UTC  

Which is still a perverse incentive structure

2019-08-20 01:14:18 UTC  

Can you see how utterly authoritarian your take is?

2019-08-20 01:14:22 UTC  

dude congress has a 15% approval rating

2019-08-20 01:14:30 UTC  

yet dems and repubs get all the vote still

2019-08-20 01:14:34 UTC  

so your thesis is false

2019-08-20 01:14:37 UTC  

Doesn't matter. Only matters how they fare compared to the opposition

2019-08-20 01:14:38 UTC  

they keep voting for the same idiots

2019-08-20 01:15:05 UTC  

thats my point

2019-08-20 01:15:25 UTC  

Right, so how do you fix that system? Money out of politics doesn't solve the whole problem

2019-08-20 01:15:30 UTC  

people have a limited perception on alternatives, so they vote against their interests time and time again for the same shit parties

2019-08-20 01:15:36 UTC  

Yes

2019-08-20 01:15:46 UTC  

money out of politics is the main barrier dude

2019-08-20 01:15:49 UTC  

its not the whole thing

2019-08-20 01:16:00 UTC  

but its *THE* incentive structure which makes the most difference

2019-08-20 01:16:27 UTC  

And getting a sweetheart deal upon retirement isn't an incentive O__o?

2019-08-20 01:16:29 UTC  

political campaigns have to be publically funded 100%

2019-08-20 01:16:32 UTC  

I mean

2019-08-20 01:16:36 UTC  

ban that shit dude
